Hello...yes, I am a speech-language pathologist...dyspraxia of speech, or more correctly termed Childhood Apraxia of Speech, is a motor speech planning deficit. I could write a lot, but the American Speech Language Hearing Association has a nice summary to look at. Feel free to email me specific questions (greensplus2@yahoo.com). Refer to this website for a thorough explanation...http://www.asha.org/public/speech/disorders/childhoodapraxia.htm. Hope this helps!

Thank you, yes my daughters SLP has mentioned apraxia, but her OT has mentioned dyspraxia. That is what has me confused. The Wikipedia definition for dyspraxia is scary. She just turned 2 in October and she's finally has some words! It was also late september when we increases speech to 2x a week and started OT 1x, she also gets PT 1x. I just want to do everything in my power to help her, I see the frustration in her eyes when she can't communicate.
